New Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope

RoGeorge:
Did the upgrade, then recalibrate.  The previous version was
00.04.04.SP3, now it's
00.04.05.SP1

Couldn't identify any visible changes in the math or measurement functions.

Still works just like before the upgrade, won't bother trying to downgrade it back, but the traces seems thicker to me, and brighter, much brighter.  It's a sunny summer day outside but still had to dial down the intensity.   :-//

Anybody else seeing thicker and brighter traces with the latest firmware?

klausES:
Sometimes the traces are wider (then you also have a brighter). Possibly already by a influence of noise.
Either it becomes less or only after a restart, or when the device warms up, or changing the position of the probes (cable).

Are you really only the traces brighter or anything but also a little the writing, the symbols and frames around fields ?

RoGeorge:
Not sure yet, but I'll look for some older screen captures from former projects, redo the same settings and capture the same waveforms again, to compare the old and new captures on the PC.  Probably not gonna do this today, but if I'll do it sometimes in the weekend, I'll post here the results, either the same or not the same.

So far I've tested the jitter/phase noise (because the change log is mentioning something about "trigger problem fix").
- jitter/phase noise seems about the same, maybe smaller than I measured a couple of years ago  :-+
- I see some strange trace wiggling on the smallest time base and strong clean signal, when I synchronize from the signal generator  :--

I don't recall seeing that before.  Again, need to find some old screen captures made in similar conditions for a fair comparison.  Not sure if I have any, but the wiggling around the trigger point goes away when the sampling rate goes to 1GSa/s (by disabling all channels except the first)

By wiggling I mean the trace thickens and widens before and after the trigger point, in an X shape.  Need to measure more careful and find some older captures before calling that a bug.  Will add some screen captures later.

I'm not sure if the upgrade was justified for me, because it was working just fine before the upgrade, but now I'm not so sure and need to spend time for extra checking to decide if it's just an illusion or it really is worst than before.   :-\

I don't see how. RGB values were already at 100%.

RoGeorge:
Then what it is for the default 60% value of the Display -> Intensity setting?
